Leave it at the track.... Just dont anchor your canopy to it... I have witnessed some flying bikes with that done...
Cool. Thanks for the invite, but I reckon I'll keep my hotel this time. Maybe next time I'll feel spunky enough to camp. See you guys there! -Geoff
This is my first track day as well. I went to watch some friends in Nashville ride last year and it looked like a blast. Last month they mentioned the Barber event and I went out and bought a bike, put some miles on it and am excited. I'm also staying at the Hampton Inn since my daughters are with me on Saturday. Is there room in the pits to leave your trailer? Is there enough room to leave it with your bike and ez up if it stands up? Also, do you need to bring an extension cord for power? Any pointers on what to bring? What did you forget your first track day that you wish you had remembered?
Hey Dom, You can put the trailer up right where you set up. You will need an power cord, and you are welcome to take mine down with the bikes. Somewhere on this forum is a list of stuff to bring. Everyone has their own check lists, but maybe someone can steer you to a link. can I load up the 750 Thursday afternoon? Give me a shout. You are going to love riding Barber

Barber Gearing Set me straight if this is the incorrect forum in which to ask this question, but I am wondering what the "ideal" gearing would be for Barber? Currently my bike has a 16/50 (the way I bought it) and I'll be at the track this Sunday. Bike is a 2002 R6.
Re: Barber Gearing sounds ok. there might be a better combo (im not super familiar with the r6) but there isnt much of a chance you are gonna top out. pretty sure the front is stock (16) and its a +2 in the back. so you shouldnt be too far off. just my 2 cents
